12 items movers won't move

Move it or lose it

Planning for a big move? You’re likely stocking up on boxes
and tape and fretting about breakables surviving the trip. But there’s
something else you need to plan for: All the things your moving company won’t take.

Most moving companies will
give customers a list of “non-allowables” — items movers won’t transport due to safety and
liability issues. Some movers may not take these 12 items because they’re
flammable, toxic, messy or just plain risky.
